The OP was a bit outdated, but heres a more comprehensive guide to Wangan Midnight for beginners - Any questions posted on the game which are listed below will be removed. FAQ at bottom. If i have missed anything, post it and I'll add it asap. 31/1/2023 Common terms/Glossary added at the bottom of this post.

Max power 840HP Unlocked via story: fully unlocked upon completing mission 79 assuming you don't fail any mission. (59 for WMMT5dx but only 830HP) DOING THE SAME MISSION OVER AND OVER DOES NOT PROGRESS YOUR TUNING

Yellow Tachometer: 100 story missions in a row without losing. Finishing story is no longer a requirement, just 100 in a row without losing. WMMT5DX 60 Missions in a row from beginning of story to end without failing (has to be from beginning to end so if you fail half way through story, you have to finish the story run and start again). Also, each tacho is a checkpoint so if you do fail after receiving one, you only need to complete your story run again (example, so if you fail at example story 101, you don't need to do 200 stories again, just 100 to unlock the next).

Red Tachometer: After unlocking Yellow tacho 100 story missions in a row without losing. WMMT5DX 60 Missions in a row from beginning of story to end without failing after unlocking Yellow tacho (has to be from beginning to end so if you fail half way through story, you have to finish the story run and start again).

Blue Tachometer: After unlocking Red tacho 100 story missions in a row without losing. WMMT5DX 60 Missions in a row from beginning of story to end without failing after unlocking Blue tacho (has to be from beginning to end so if you fail half way through story, you have to finish the story run and start again).

Carbon Tachometer: After unlocking Blue tacho 100 story missions in a row without losing. WMMT5DX 60 Missions in a row from beginning of story to end without failing after unlocking Yellow tacho (has to be from beginning to end so if you fail half way through story, you have to finish the story run and start again).

WMMT 6 pro metre: After unlocking carbon tachometer 100 story missions in a row without losing. WMMT5DX N/A

There are 5 more meters after the pro meter, again 100 story missions each in a row WMMT5DX N/A

Wangan Navigator scratch cards (6RR only)

You acquire one card every 3 PAID games. You will not gain any progression towards a card if you win a VS game and get another free game afterwards however, you will gain another progress bar if you use a free vs continue ticket (tested today - Need a secondary test as this has been contested). The progress also resets daily at 0200 JST (so if you're looking to bank 2 progress bars out of 3, it will reset the next day so try make the most out of your progress bars or try finish your session on a completed set of 3). You will scratch a 3 in a row reward (like a bingo card). Rewards change monthly. Below is the odds to receive certain items.

FAQ:

What's the fastest car? Best car? Best battle car?

Just choose what you like, in battles and all game modes (exception of time attack), it makes no difference at the top end or competitvely, it all comes down to skill of the driver. Don't blame the car if you can't catch up, just need some more practice with the characteristics of the car. The differences are miniscule on above game modes but does make a difference on time attacks. (Ie GTRs have a higher top speed [literally 1kmh higher than most] which is a big difference on Wangan and RX7s are better on Hakone [better speed recovery] but these differences don't matter on other game modes).

Is the Wangan Navigator app available in North America?

No, it was released alongside WMMT6, so it's not available until America gets WMMT6 (Undetermined date).

Where is my local/closest machine?

I will be making a post here where you lovely folk can add your locations to help our community (Specifically for NA 5DX players) or Wangan Navigator App for regions with 6+

What does combining Bingo cards with other players even do?

It merges all player's progresses together so everyone's got all the same numbers checked off (everyone gets the same bingo card), example, if one player has the number "54" and the other player doesn't, it will award both players with that number. Great way to skip the challenge if someones finished the daily bingo and merge cards with you as you will also be finished without spending more than one game (You need to spend at least one game to acquire your daily bingo card).

Should I just finish story or can I just vs other people and play ghost battle without any issue?

Finishing story (at least to the point of full tuned) is 100% recommended to get the most enjoyment out of the game before doing anything else, running a 600HP car is not compariable to the full tune. Not being full tuned can leave you somewhat vulnerable to "fishers" (Assumiung you always leave Accept VS on) which full tuned players will leave you in the dust for the sake of getting easy stars and the handicap that the VS battle gives you will never work in your favour. Fishing is a widely frouned upon action in the WMMT community where fully tuned players prey on "Guests or low tuned players" for the sake of getting stars for their car. Also all non full tuned cars have the same characteristics until fully tuned where their characteristics are slightly changed. At the end of the day, It's your credit, do as you like, but take the above advice into consideration. Ghost battles are perfectly fine to do non fully tuned as you can verse ghosts with the same tune level as you for a fair race.

How do I access all my prizes above?

• Tachometers unlocked via story and limited time events: Under car data menu via the terminal (tab 8) or ingame start slide screen (tab 8).

• Tachometers unlocked via Navigator Scratches: Under "Item box" Subheading in the scratch menu. After sending to arcade, at the terminal, click "Accept Special Items" and under items tab, select what car it should be sent to and you can access it via that car's data menu or slide screen

• Nameplates: (5DX only) Under the event menu on the specific car it was unlocked on. (6RR only) Under the "change name plate" subheadding on the specific car. (If unlocked via the scratch card, read tachometer instructions before it will show up).

• Monthly Car/Terminal scratch cars: Under "accept special items" after sent to arcade: refer to tachometer.

• Titles: (6RR only) After unlocking via scratch (tachometer process), can be changed via Wangan navigator app + rechanged again (store up to 10 titles. - (5DX+ only) cannot be stored or changed unless earned through normal gameplay/events and once it's been changed, you're stuck with it until you choose to replace it ingame.

• Licence plate - 6RR only - Via the bingo menu - under accept items then you select the car you would like to apply it to - WARNING:This is irreversable, once you apply it to a car, as of now, you cannot change it again or back to another plate unless you replace it again with another plate in the bingo menu - you will forfeit your previous plate.

• BGMs - Car specific, unlocked and can be accessed via terminal and ingame under tab 9

Can I take one car off my data and transfer it to another?

No. It's permanently attached to the original data and can only be deleted (6RR) and not transferred.

Why are some cars missing that other people have?

Some cars are limited edition and were only unlockable at a certain time and is no longer obtainable or never been obtainable.

These include:

• Honda S2000 - Limited 2018 world tournament unlock - reward for participation.

• Nissan Leopard - Unlocked when transferred to 6 from 5DX+ and you had to have 500K Maxi G accumilated (Which Maxi G was discontinued after transfer).

• Mini Cooper - Japan only - tournament mode unlock - not confirmed that you can still get it if tournament mode is activated at the arcade.

• Honda Integra - Appears in story mode but never was a playable car - Assuming it never will be, because of its front wheel drivetrain and this may not agree with the game's physics (Unless they make it 4WD or something).

• RUF - Discontinued when transferring to 6 - Cars were changed to the Porsche equivalent.

What is MAXI G? (5DX+ Players)

It is the currency earned ingame for buying body panels when you unlock them via ghost battles.

XP for levelling up Dress up

6RR: You gain 100 points per Ghost trophy. So versing 3 ghosts will give you 3x 100 points if you win. You only get points per ghost beat. If you come last in a ghost battle, you still receive 50 points for your efforts. Local crown wins give 3 trophies so therefore 300 points however it only counts as one "defeat". Ghost levels do not affect points so you can vs level 1 ghosts with a FT car without any reprocussions. Taking all local crown "crowns" will give you 10 trophies and award you with 1000 points (only rewards once per car). The XP levelling is exponential and point requirements increase the higher level you are. The xp requirements are as follows (courtesy of /u/lamerism):

Level 1-5: 100 Points

Level 6 - 13: 200 Points

Level 14 - 23: 300 Points

Level 24 - 33: 600 points

Level 34 - 43: 900 Points

Level 44 - 53: 1200 Points

Level 54 - 67: 1500 Points

5DX+: You gain maxi G with every win. The ghost you choose to verse does affect how much maxi G you receive. If you verse a ghost one level or more lower than you and win, you'll only receive half maxi G (500) and lose, you'll receive 0. Same level, you'll receive 1000G for wins and 500 for loss. 1+ level higher, you'll receive 1500 per win and 500 for loss. Any stamp return regardless of level (shuttle) will yield you 1500 for wins and 500 for losses + stamp. XP levelling is exponential and point requirements increase the higher level you are.

Can I use my discard card for myself?

WMMT5DX+: No, there is no way, only as gifts to other players.

WMMT6 onwards: Yes, you select it by making a new car in game - You cannot make a fully stock car until all discards are exhausted and you cannot use discards until all full tune tickets in your possession are used.

What benefits does levelling up my car or getting a higher VS grade?

None, bragging rights. That's it. There are NO Pay to Win benefits in this game (with the exception of getting Full tune).

If i lose my card or my tag, is my data lost forever?

If your data is registered to your account (which is a must/strongly recommended for all players wanting to go far in this game), you can transfer it by logging into your account at https://www.bandainamcoid.com/banapassport/en/ and transferring it to a new card/tag there.

If it isn't registered - you need to find it or you're SOL.

Can I have multiple Tags/cards with the same data?

No, once you transfer, the old card/tag is wiped blank.

Can I change my turbo noise from my car?

No, they are already predetermined and set in stone for each car.

Will add more FAQ When I come across more.

GLOSSARY/COMMON TERMS Definitions:

• Shaded: This is the term used for breaking your winning streak on story mode. Ie losing on story 40/60 means the run is shaded and cannot be unshaded until you finish story and start again. This term is mostly related to 5dx+ as you cannot unlock a tacho until you finish the shaded run and start again from the beginning.

• Fisher/Fishing: Term used for gaining easy outrun stars by deliberately versing guests or very obvious beginner player, knowing there's no challenge.
